Food Truck Catering
Catering in Allentown, PA
Smoke rises slowly over Allentown on the best kind of afternoons — the ones where something real is happening outside, somewhere worth gathering. Smokin Zo's brings low-and-slow smoked BBQ into the middle of those moments: brisket with a proper bark, ribs that took all day to earn their tenderness, pulled pork piled generous and fragrant. This is the kind of food that makes people stop walking and start asking questions.

Venues & Event Locations
At Joseph S. Daddona Lake and Terrace Park, where families spread out along the water on summer evenings, the smell of smoked brisket travels beautifully — it's the kind of food that draws a crowd before anyone even sees the truck. Down at the Union Terrace Amphitheater, Smokin Zo's has fed audiences arriving early for shows, giving them something worth lingering over before the music starts. The John Haas College Center draws a different energy — campus events, faculty gatherings, student programming — and a serious plate of pulled pork lands there just as well as anywhere.
Pennsylvania does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Allentown.
Smokin Zo's and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.

Stephen came up cooking, driving, and prepping across more than a dozen food trucks before stepping into a 12-truck network leadership role, the kind of background that shapes how he plans BBQ service today. He's prepped over 3,000 meals in a single day for corporate crowds of 1,000 or more and once pulled together a full event from scratch within an hour of the request. His planning advice stays simple: two entrées on the menu keeps the smoky flavor strong and the line moving.
Stephen will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
